RealVNC: VNC goes mobile; VNC offers two-way remote control for mobile
devices including Symbian, Microsoft Mobile, iPhone, Linux and
Blackberry platforms.
(M2 PressWIRE Via Acquire Media NewsEdge)
RDATE:02102008
RealVNC, the home of VNC remote control software, has extended its
flagship VNC Enterprise Edition product to mobile devices. VNC now
supports a wide range of mobile handsets and PDAs including Symbian,
Microsoft Mobile, iPhone, Linux and Blackberry platforms, with support
for additional platforms to follow.
As well as providing remote control and management of PCs from mobile
devices, for the first time it will be possible for a system
administration department to support and maintain its organization's
mobile devices using VNC.
RealVNC will be previewing VNC for mobile platforms at the Symbian
Smartphone Show http://www.smartphoneshow.com/ from 21-22 October in
London. A beta program will follow and products are due early 2009.
VNC Enterprise Edition already provides a powerful, secure and robust,
cross-platform remote control solution for Windows, UNIX and Mac,
allowing one computer to take full control of another, regardless of
operating system or location. With this new support for mobile
platforms, VNC users will also be able to access and control any PC or
workstation via their mobile phone or PDA. Conversely, VNC will allow
someone at a computer to control and manage any number of mobile
devices, anywhere in the world.
"As mobile devices become more sophisticated and IP connectivity to
them improves, they are increasingly being used to perform core
business functions. Remotely accessing a PC desktop from a mobile
device has obvious benefits for individual users, and is now possible
through our full range of VNC viewers for mobiles," says Dr Andy
Harter, CEO at RealVNC. "But perhaps more useful is the ability to
manage the mobile device and the business applications running on it
remotely. Our range of VNC servers for mobiles makes this possible too."
Dr Harter adds: "IT departments and third-party support agencies are
facing the challenge of managing the growing cloud of mobile devices
that are appearing within corporate networks. With VNC, system
administrators will be able to take control of a mobile device anywhere
in the world, remotely configure or troubleshoot a problem, and offer
remote assistance and training on how to use the device and its
applications. Remote control of mobiles is also of great interest to
network operators, who currently have few effective tools to support
customers with handset problems."
